Mr. Samuel H. Thompson may be appointed to an appropriate position in or under the Indian Bureau without reference to the civil service rules.

Miss Virginia Ladd may be appointed to an appropriate clerical position in the classified service without regard to the provisions of the civil service rules.

So far as the Commission may deem practicable, such appointments shall be made from the registers of eligibles.
